My College Decision!

Hey Everyone! I can't believe how fast time is flying. Here I am, at the end of April in my senior year. After having a great spring break with my friends, the time has come for me to realize that I am so much closer to moving on my way, out of Union Catholic and onto another chapter of my life!

I have decided to attend Rider University, majoring in Communications (Radio/TV) and minoring in Dance. After a second visit to Rider a couple Saturdays ago, it really made my decision that much harder... I had narrowed my options down to Rider and Montclair. Because I got into the broadcasting program at Montclair, that was definately an asset. The program is fairly competitive, and I had to go to an interview and write an essay to do it. You may be questioning why I decided to attend Rider then! But ultimately, I made my decision based on my overall feel for the college. I feel a comfortable and cool vibe when I go to Rider - everyone there is very nice and helpful. The campus is really nice, and seems more of a college campus than Montclair. Also, Montclair is said to be a "suit case" school, where alot of students commute. I want to be somewhere where I feel a togetherness, and can feel at home. That's why I chose Rider!

I am so excited to be heading towards college. I've already been talking to some incoming freshmen on Facebook by joining the Rider University Class of 2013 group! Some members of the group are actually planning to meet up with each other at Rider in a few weekends, to meet people and get to know each other even before our Orientation Days. One of my best friends, Erin, is also going to Rider so her and I might ride up there together.

Another exciting thing that has happened in my life is that I tried out for Mystic Vision Player's production of High School Musical!!! MVP is Linden's Community Theatre. I was really excited about auditioning because I have never done community theatre before, only shows at UC. I got a callback, and turns out I will be playing the part of a Wildcat Cheerleader!!!!

I'm also really excited for tomorrow... its the Spring Pep Rally and the Mr. UC Pageant!! I'm involved in both. I'll be dancing in the pep rally with the Dance Club, and I will be escorting Mr. Edison at the pageant. If you get a chance, you should really come out and see this event. It's hilarious and really a great time for everyone.

I'll be updating you on other things in the near future. Maybe I'll be seeing some of you at our Open House on Wednesday! Have a good week =)
